I am not familiar with the Fit, but do they actually have
a Check fuel Cap light? I would think that it would be
tied into the OBD2 Evaporative Emissions codes...learn

It is tied into the OBDII codes but the last couple years if the code is
generated Honda's turn the check fuel cap message on the dash. Saves on some
service calls.

The Owner's Manual for my 07 Accord says it can take several weeks of

Don't you mean 'Check Engine" light, which MAY come on due to a loose fuel
